The extracellular glycosyltransferases from Streptococcus mutans FA1 were purified by using the following procedures: ammonium sulfate precipitation, poly-(acrylamide) gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and agarose-gel filtration. The dextransucrase and levansucrase activities were purified 350- and 500-fold, repsectively, and the ratio of the two activities remained almost constant throughout the purification. Both enzymes have a pH optimum of 6.0, a Km for sucrose of 55mM, and isoelectric points of 3.7 and 4.6. The enzymes are inactivated by repeated freezing and thawing, but retain partial activity even after heating at 100 degrees. The enzyme preparation contains a carbohydrate moiety which does not appear to be either bound levan or dextran.
